Looking After The Pounds With ‘Look After My Bills’

After a bad experience with changing energy suppliers in the past, I am always looking for some help in this matter. About 15 years ago I ended up paying two different utility companies for my electric. I’d just moved into a new house and the old supplier didn’t end the contract like they should have done – and I’d already started my contract with the new supplier. It took months to sort and was extremely stressful so something like Look After My Bills is perfect for me – it not only finds the better deals but does it all for you – saving you time, money and stress.

Look After My Bills is a brand new free service from The Big Deal. Established in 2014, the energy switching site has grown to over 400,000 members . They have an excellent track record in saving their customers money – the company has saved each of its members an average of over £300 a year and a total of £15 million overall. This means they have switched over £120 million of custom in utilities to better (and cheaper) deals. They are rated at 9.3 out of 10 on Trustpilot and are energy experts, featured and quoted across the media. It is little wonder that they have set up such a fab free service with all of their experience. Look After My Bills is free for all customers which is great – suppliers pay Look After My Bills a commission for each switch which is how it remains cost-free for the customer.

This new service has been launched to help customers reduce their bills without having to deal with the stress of switching themselves. Signing up takes less than two minutes and customers just need to provide their details. The market will then be assessed and the customer will be switched to a better energy deal. Even after this switching, the market is constantly checked and if another good deal comes up when their current deal is coming to an end, then Look After My Bills will automatically switch them over yet again, ensuring they are always getting the best deal.

They will also only switch a customer if they can save them at least £50. On average, customers save around £223 but some have saved as much as £600. With this being an ongoing service, customers can continue to save money without even having to worry about it.

I could certainly have done with this years ago when I was having all those problems with the utility companies. I have always found switching energy providers time-consuming – and often confusing too. When problems like this occur, it only serves to make the situation even more stressful.

Working from home and having young children at home makes it difficult to make the multiple phone calls needed to the different companies to find who has the best price and comparison sites make it confusing as they all show you different companies for the best deal – they never seem to agree! I never know where I should be directing my custom as it is all so confusing!

It has been said that 60% of people in the UK have never switched and are overpaying by up to £300 a year. Even if they do switch, they rarely remember to check prices when the deal ends and their bills inevitably go up again!

I wish Look After My Bills had been around years ago – it would have certainly have saved me time and effort over the years – but I’m grateful that it is around now – hopefully I can keep my bills right down with their help.

‘Refer a Friend’ SchemeRecently Look After My Bills has started a new refer a friend scheme so people can help their friends save and be rewarded for it at the same time as their friends. If a customer gets a friend to sign up to Look After My Bills, then they will be given £20, along with giving £20 to their referrer. All people need to do is share their personal link and get their friends to sign up using it.
